Structural beam plays a key role to carry the applied load on the floors. And then the beam have to sustain the applied load and its load-bearing capacity in fire situation. In this study to know the fire resistance performance of long span beam made of a submarine structural steels, an engineering method is used using mechanical and thermal properties of structural steel at high temperature.

In recent years building floors become larger and more spacious due to the development of new design methods and high strength and light weight materials, However, such long span floor systems may provide smaller amount of damping and have longer period so that they would be more vulnerable to the floor vibration. This study attempts to evaluate the performance of the floors in typical apartment buildings. Three different floors with the area of $43.2m^2 41.44m^2 and 34.5m^2$, were investigated. The guideline provided by AISC(1997) is used to check the acceptability of the floor vibration.

Serviceability rather than strength is the most critical design requirement for vibration-vulnerable floor constructions. Annoying vibrations due to normal walking activity have been observed more frequently on long-span lightweight floor systems in office and commercial retail buildings, raising the need for the development of floor vibration design procedures. This paper highlights some limitations of one of the most commonly used guidelines AISC/CISC DG11, and proposes improvements to this method. Design charts and approximate closed form formulas to estimate the walking response are developed in which various factors relating to the dynamic characteristics of both the floor and the excitation are considered. The accuracy of the proposed formulas and other proposals found in the literature is examined. The proposed modifications would be significant, especially with long-span floors where vibration levels may be underestimated by the current design procedure. The application of the proposed prediction method is illustrated by worked examples that reveal a good agreement with results obtained from finite element analyses and experiments. The presented work would enhance the accuracy and maintain the simplicity and convenience of the design guideline.

It is common in multistory flat-plate structures that newly cast slabs are supported by a number of previously cast floors. Then the weight of newly cast slabs is imposed on shored previously cast floors as load, and this load may be large as double as dead load. Because early-age construction loads cause large immediate deflection and creep deflection with cracks, this loads influence long-term behavior of slabs. In current provision, the minimum thickness is required to satisfy serviceability But this minimum thickness based on historical precedent is determined by span length, therefore the minimum thickness of current provision can not includes properly the effect of construction scheme including the number of shored floors and construction cycle. In the present study, a minimum thickness criterion, which includes the effect of concrete strength, geometry of slabs and construction scheme, was developed from computer-based iteration using deflection calculation procedure of current code method.

In recent years building floors has become larger and more spacious due to the development of new design methods and high strength and light weight materials. However, such long span floor systems may provide smaller amount of damping and have longer period so that they would be more vulnerable to the floor vibration. This study attempts to evaluate the performance of the floors in typical apartment buildings. Four different floors with the area of 43.2$m^2$, 41.44$m^2$, 34.5$m^2$, and 28.89$m^2$ were investigated. The guideline provided by AISC(997) and human perception level of Korean people proposed by S. W. Han(2003) are used to check the acceptability of the floor vibration.

Excessive vibrations can occur in long-span structures such as floors or footbridges due to occupant?s daily activity like walking and cause a so-called vibration serviceability issue. Since 1970s, researchers have proposed many human walking load models, and some of them have even been adopted by major design guidelines. Despite their wide applications in structural vibration serviceability problems, differences between these models in predicting structural responses are not clear. This paper collects 19 popular walking load models and compares their effects on structure?s responses when subjected to the human walking loads. Model parameters are first compared among all these models including orders of components, dynamic load factors, phase angles and function forms. The responses of a single-degree-of-freedom system with various natural frequencies to the 19 load models are then calculated and compared in terms of peak values and root mean square values. Case studies on simulated structures and an existing long-span floor are further presented. Comparisons between predicted responses, guideline requirements and field measurements are conducted. All the results demonstrate that the differences among all the models are significant, indicating that in a practical design, choosing a proper walking load model is crucial for the structure?s vibration serviceability assessment.

Steel trusses that act compositely with concrete slabs have proven to be an economical system for long-span floors. The composite action is generally achieved by providing shear connections between the steel top chord and the concrete topping. The composite sections have greater stiffness than the sum of the individual stiffnesses of the slab and truss. Therefore, steel trusses that act compositely with concrete slabs can carry larger loads and are stifferand less prone to transient vibration. During the tests that were performed in this study, the crack pattern and deflection of the beam of the composte truss were investigated. The test results were compared with the results for the noncomposite trusses.

Flat plate structures are designed in the form of long span due to the development of construction materials and the improvement of construction technology. However, a high-rise structure of a flat plate of 50 less floors is constructed without detailed review of the inequality shortening, long-term deflection of the slab, and cracks. Therefore, it is possible to examine the case of defects in the structure due to deformation and damage of non-structures such as crack and leak, deflection of the door frame, and deformation of equipment ducts. In this study, it is a high-rise structure, and the inequality shortening and long-term deflection of the slab of the flat plate structure were evaluated through finite element analysis, and it was confirmed that prior precision analysis and correction during construction is necessary.

The dynamic characteristic of the building using preflex composite beams is a low natural frequency due to long span. Therefore, both vibrational acceleration and the characteristic of natural frequency damage to people using the building, This study estimates a vibrational acceleration based on walking and natural frequency in five kinds of building. Recently, using methods of evaluating a serviceability are based on JIA, AISC, Eurocode, CSA, DIN and ISO. ed. The result of this study is content with foreign regulations and serviceability. However, considering of these results, the method of evaluating serviceability should be developed in the future.

The RC flat plate system has benefits such as a short construction time, an improvement of workability and a floor height reduction. In the case of long span slab, cracking damages and large deflections tend to occur due to the low flexural stiffness of flat plates. Specially, over-loading by self-weight of slab during construction increases short and long-term deflections. These problems may be solved by the use of void slab that has benefits of the reduced self-weight. In this study, to analyze an effect of self-weight reduction of void slab on slab deflections, the parametric study is performed. Including variable conditions such as a concrete strength, a slab construction cycle, the number of shored floors, a compressive reinforcement ratio and a tensile reinforcement ratio, slab construction loads and deflections are calculated by considering the construction stages, concrete cracking, and long-term effects. The short-term deflections during construction and the long-term deflections after construction of both of normal and void slabs are compared and the effects of void slab on the reduction of slab deflections are analyzed.
